St. Johns Nsongya Primary School
34 % of schools lack decent toilets. This affects the learning capability of the students negatively. For example, menstruating girls are sometimes forced to stay home, and many students release themselves outside. That is why The Good Roll Foundation builds toilets for schools in need!
St. Johns Nsongya Primary School, located in the Rwimi sub-county of Bunyangabu District in Uganda, educates 659 students and employs 13 teachers.
Although toilet facilities were available, the conditions were very poor, and many students chose to relieve themselves in the open rather than use the facilities provided. Before The Good Roll Foundation and Simavi began building with assistance from the local partner, HEWASA, St. Johns had no washrooms or hand washing facilities available at the school. They had 5 toilet facilities for boys and 5 toilet facilities for girls, but had no separate facilities for teachers. The students now have access to new facilities with 4 toilets for the boys and 4 toilets for the girls, with a hand washing station available for each set of toilets. A new 250 liter tank was also installed to collect rainwater for hand washing and sanitation purposes.
